    On the first day if the new Congress, I introduced Constitutional amendments to limit a president’s pardon power & to eliminate the Electoral College. I also introduced a bill on medical marijuana. See my press releases here: https://bit.ly/2AsFrFs  &https://bit.ly/2LRp75w

        Sorry, our founders were smarter than you, the Electoral College was designed to limit State power and radicals like you and it is working just fine the way it is. Stop wasting our dime with crap like this that will never see the light of day.

        Let me ask you this - if someone won 78% of the popular vote, and someone else only won 22%, who should win? Because mathematically, the EC could give the win to the one with only 22%.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wC42HgLA4k …

        all of the states in blue have a smaller population than Los Angeles County in red. without the Electoral College that one county would probably be able to be a single deciding factor in who would win the election.pic.twitter.com/w1EEAlBU9e

        There's legitmate arguments for at least reforming the Electoral College. The "general ticket" system aka popular vote winner takes all of a states electoral votes was never intended by the founding fathers. Madison in particular was dismayed by it.https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Madison/04-03-02-0109 …

        Popular election of the President is an option, and one favored by many founding fathers including Madison and James Wilson. Direct election of electors is another. Having the House elect the President is yet another. The Electoral College in its current state, however, is broken

        The electorial college is one of the greatest safeguards to our constitutional government. It is the great equalizer, keeping the little guys vote from being swallowed up by the big cities population centers. Keep the electorial college.

        Maybe the "little guys" should put up better candidates then. Change their party from going backwards in time.

        States do not put up candidates, and you have just effectively marginalized millions of people who vote in smaller states that do not have the population of larger cities like NYC or LA...the electoral college has nothing to do with candidates....

        yes please eliminate the Electoral College so we can have mob rule and reduce the say that smaller states have in the election

        Each individual in a small state would have the same weight given to their vote as any other individual.

        states with larger populations would still be a huge deciding factor. if everyone in California voted for one candidate then it would barely matter if Wyoming, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, etc. voted for the other. one state would be able to overrule many.

        Why would everyone in any state vote for a single candidate? It would give more power to every voter in every state. Right now all but purple states are ignored.

        yea sure, but the majority will then always place their interests above and those in the minority will be under the “tyranny of the majority.” in the United States we should follow the preferences of the majority while still protecting those of the minority.

        The Senate would still be hopelessly skewed to rural states with tiny populations. That is enough.
